Looking for a desktop upgrade, Dell XPS being an option. They offer a 14th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-14900K option but if you want this they require you to pay more for a special version of Windows 11 Pro that they say is needed for compatibility with this configuration.  I thought out-of-the-box Windows 11 Pro supported this processor so does anyone know what is going on with their special version?
